Leoluca Brambilla

Vite sits in the agricultural plain of Treviso, surrounded by the prosecco hills and the market gardens that supply the region's kitchens. Brambilla's appointment as head chef at 26 — and his immediate Michelin star confirmation — signals his potential as one of Italy's youngest rising talents.

Leoluca Brambilla, 26 years old (as of 2024) and from Cremona, became head chef at Vite Restaurant in Lancenigo di Villorba (Treviso) in September 2024, successfully maintaining the restaurant's Michelin star under his leadership. Despite his young age, his training in Italian fine-dining kitchens gave him a mature, precise technique.
